A modest proposal (ie. How to respond to new roms)

Could we start a trend of changing the way we respond to new roms?
Nobody wants to read 3 pages of "thnx, I'll try it out." or "thanks! Great work! downloading now!" We're all grateful for new roms, but posting a review is a much better way of saying thanks than wasting space in the thread.
It would be so much better if the only responses were reviews of the rom or bug reports and discussion.
If you agree with me, respond to this thread and keep it at the top. If you don't, let it die and I'll just shut up.
thnx.

Hear, hear...I agree. I flip through two pages of that before I get to the meat of the issues and decide to try or deny. It sometimes makes me wonder why so many noobs ask the same questions in a thread...because the answer was in the bottom of a bunch of I'm downloading now...

i dont even read anything but the OPs post because of this. And dutty yelled at me because of it! hahahha.
good post. cant wait to read it! thanks for the work

I don't mind it, it means my rom is being used

I agree, this is a good idea. People can always PM props to the chef. New forum rule? eh, eh?

But you could know your rom is being used, and we could have more useful threads if people posted feedback rather than props.

If that were the case then the thread would die after the issues if any were addressed.

posting thanks isn't what keeps any rom threads alive that I've read. Usually the first few pages are thanks, but the thing that keeps the thread alive is real discussion about the rom.
I can see your point to, though, that it's nice to get an idea of who is using your rom. I'm not sure if there is a way to solve both problems... I wish it was like Digg or slashdot where you can set a threshold for usefulness of the comments you want to read ...

I agree and that is no joke.

In all seriousness - while I think a message that says "downloading now" isn't terribly useful to anyone, if a thread gets cluttered up with people expressing their gratitude to the ROM chefs that is wonderful! (And I'm sure those who spend so much of their time putting together stuff to help the rest of us truly appreciate it... almost as much as the contributions

not 1st! Bump!

I agree with amg212. Test-driving a new ROM and providing feedback on it's performance/bugs isn't always a 5-minute job. Sometimes you only find a bug after a couple days of usage. I personally don't anything wrong with a quick "thanks, downloading now..." message and a more detailed bug report later. First report shows the ROM Cooker he's got an audience and thus not just wasting his time, and second report allows him to fix bugs and cook a better ROM next time...my 2 cents...

How do I get back to original AT&T ROM

Hi,
I have installed a cooked ROM and now I want to get back to original AT&T ROM, how can I do that? Please advise. Thanks.

OOOH this is an easy one man upper right corner there is a search link just type some of the words from ur original post issue there and u will find what ur looking for... i dont know something like "stock att rom "... and in future please do try to use this feature of xda as u will see it very useful
HEY SCOT, is this more tactful

I will tell you this only if you promise to never ask another question.
Step 1 - Go to the HTC website
Step 2 - Download the HTC Rom of your choice for your phone
Step 3 - Flash your phone with the latest ROM

HOLY CHRIST!
DIDNT YOU JUST POST IN GENERAL!?

Oh no... come on guys give him a break lol u are too funny

....
break?
lol. your funny

it seems like the last couple of days there is a competition going for most ridiculously redundant thread posting in kaiser rom dev forum... im amazed at all the new users just asking the most simplest question that require minimal too little searching to find just what they are looking for

its not that hard. all you have to do is look in the wiki and all the answers are there. you have to be a pure idiot not to see it. and search alright i have to admit its a hit or miss. but when it comes down to the wiki. you find everything
also use google.
search your topic useing
for ex. HTC HOME + xda
you will find what your looking for!
i only post when i cant find a single answer.
so why dont people do the same?
bleh no one should get free rides around these parts.

True mbudden but ive had a change of heart and we should all be a little more compationate here on xda until they implement a new member system requiring people to take tutorials and pass a test before being allowed membership... cuz u r right its not rocket science

Answerso you know how many people posting same things everyday,and keep posting?If you are not lazy,searching more easy then creating a new thread.
2-how else will you learn?
Answer:Searching,WIKI,Stickys.everythings is there....
3-How many people actually read the whole entire manual when buying something new?
Answer:Lazyness..
I think everything is Answered...

princeison said:
I may be new to these forums, but I am not new to forums in general. I know how **** works. Obviously the SEARCH button in the corner is made to help people out; however if someone posts a question, do you think it is necessary for 10 people to flame him?
Have you EVER in your life purchased a product and sat there and read every single page in the manual?
Yeah many people ask ask for help so you give them a link to a sticky. Is that so hard?

Alright, good that you know how things work.
However if you posted a question I'd think you'd get flamed too.
He's not the only one. You have to remeber that.
And honestly, I have bought a product and read the manual if it wasnt just common sence. But then again when it comes down to a product thats 500$ why would you want to tinker with it? If you break it using someone elses intructions dont bother doing it then. Don't ***** and complain you didnt read etc.etc. Thats what half of these ' I bricked my tilt ' threads are. Its nonsence!
Oh also, there are many stickies and theres the wiki. So what are you trying to get at? Lots of noobs come here with many diff questions. So how are you asposed to sticky 1039821093 posts that you could just search around for the answer. wow lazy people.
I hope a admin closes this thread. they need to.

princeison said:
P.S. I was a admin also. I guess some people have more patience then others. But if people post something that is "stupid", and you have nothing productive to say, then why bother saying anything at all? Does it affect your life in any sort of way at all? When you buy a new car do you read through the 200+ pages? I honestly don't. However different people work different ways.

If you are not a complete idiot you can read the forum and search any questions you have.... i did not read a single page of the manual that came with my phone, i just read the forum. Its actually very annoying seen a new thread almost everyday on the same subject and you may say, "how does it affect you" but the point is i have to see a stupid question everyday polluting the forum. not only the ROM Dev forum but also the software and especially the general. why create an entirely new thread. Thats why members, especially older members get so pissed.

If you were a admin on a forum before I would think that you would know why people would be getting upset and everything. But obviously you have a low post count so no one knows anything about you, and you could just be making things up. But I'm not saying that. But alright, what I may be doing by flaming someone may not be productive but it does help for the OP to go and search and maybe he learns a lesson, he may not like it or not. So what. And really it does affect everything because when I go to search I find stupid senseless posts up in my search and I find it retarded that I have to search threw them to find that those people were flamed. And who said anything of this nature compared to a car? That's personal preference of what someone days. And people do work in many ways, like I like working in a clean environment that is fluttered with trash like the useless threads I have to swim threw to find my knowledge. I've been here since the Wizard days, I've learned about the search and the wiki and its always been a great help. Its now other peoples turns to do the same.

Well Well Well
I don't see why this thread needs to continue.

Glad to see you have a new Tilt. There are so many roms out there that it is hard to narrow it down to just three. Here are a couple of links to roms that I think are pretty good.

You guys are all dicks!! It took longer to post your cutesy little answers than to provide anything useful.
I am currently enjoying HyperDragon Pro with Manilla2d. before that I was using Laurentius ROM's. Before that, I was using a Nokia N80.
Now go try flashign some ROM's and find YOUR favorite and whatever you do, don't turn into one of the lonely virgins that previously answered your post.

I'm fairly new to the Tilt also, but I just installed the HyperDragon III Pro with Manilla 2D and I love it. What I did was decide what is important to me as far as features go and then skim through some of the ROM threads and then picked the one that had the least complaints about the features I want...I hope that makes sense.

My suggestion is that you go back and read the rules. Then you read the forum. Then you get your phone hardspl'd and security unlocked. Then you pick a rom and flash it. If you don't flash it, then flash another. Please don't clutter this forum with these silly and pointless threads that apparently everyone things we need a new one every day.

You sir are out of line. The OP not only double posted, but he created a new thread in the ROM development forum asking a question that's been CLEARLY deemed on appropriate hundreds of times already. The OP has shown no respect for the forum rules and policies. I imagine he hasn't even bothered to read them, nor the "before posting please read this" mod thread at the top of the page.

It takes countless hours to read the forum, flash and test all roms / programs.
There is no value in ranking three roms, neither there is value in your post. Just insults, not even fun or flame.

first off my post isnt about a flame, its about an opinion on what the person uses and why, every one will have there own opinion like every one has an a$$ hole and some can be them.
next i posted in the wrong section because as i said i have been reading up on roms on this site i have over 20 tabs open on this site alone. now the reason why i asked for the replier top choice is to find out if there is a feature they needed and why so i can figure out what some of these things are, such as manilla and 3d drivers or what have you. if one of them features are great then it helps weed thru some of the post. roms have hundred of pages.
intelligent ppl ask question and other intelligent ppl understand thats part of the learning progress, a$$es waste there own time trying to be smart. i didnt ask for any hand outs my phone wasnt an easy flash it would go white screen. but i did research that one on my own that was a specific problem roms is just in general question you either have an opinion or you dont why waste web space with usless comments. if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem and before another smart one says something i am not spell check anything dont care this is just a forum

There is a well established patter than ALL "what is the best rom" threads will be closed. in face if you check the very top post by Jimmy McGee entitled "read before posting" you will see a section called "Follow the Rules" which specifically mentions "which is the best rom?" threads.
Before you get on your soapbox about respect, try following your own advice first.
For those who apparently can't find it, here is the mod post by jimmy which i am referring to, at the very top of every kaiser forum page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=378

Correct.
Search for yourself and then make an educated decision.

Noobs with 10 posts should be moderated before posting at all..... These type of D A's give forums a bad name.
Off topic and complete troll post. OP is a jerk.

let me get this straight: you think people with less than 10 posts are noobs? what about people (such as myself) that visit the forum nearly everyday and use the forums to troubleshoot, keep up to date, and apperciate developers' work but choose not to contribute to all the whining, gripes, and stupid questions being asked all the time without using search first? cmon man (or gal). not logical not to mention judgemental. if you or anyone else think the joke was stupid, fine by me (everyone has a different level of humor), and attempts were made to address that.
YOUR attitude, response and those similars to yours is what GIVES forums such as this a bad rep. it's a ****ty attitude that does not make people feel welcomed or want to participate.
moderators, feel free to lock or delete the thread since i cant delete it myself (out of my attempt to respect those who griped).

Honestly?
No, I don't care how many posts you have next to your name.
I don't really care if someone is a 'noob' who does not really know what they are doing, everyone starts there, and I drop in occasionally to try to help out.
I care that you deliberately tried to get people's attention by setting the title to imply that official froyo had been released and then laughed at those who checked the thread.
The only person who found this funny was you, since you got to mock other members of the community.
I care that you deliberately posted something that was not constructive under the guise of being constructive.
These forums are HUGE.
There are over 14,000 users online as I write this.
If half of the people who are online right now posted something like this once per year that would be over 20 threads per day.
It would swamp all of the legitimate and semi-legitimate threads and this place would become useless.
That is why I care.

veive, point taken and that was the general response i tried to portray (undestanding, and acknowleging that it was a poor joke on my end). i had issues with the negativity after attempting to address and change the title since i couldnt delete the thread personally.
i see that you saw it as mocking other members which was not my intention but thats how it came across. fair enough. moving on.

Gripe regarding posting in development section (without a

So, this isn't a huge gripe per se about not being able to post in the development section for lack of posts, but I guess more of a "I don't understand why". (And I know basically nobody gives a rats ass about what I think - lol)
I've been rooting/flashing/customizing my phone since my first DroidX about 3 years ago (maybe more!). I have flashed many, many different ROMS, bricked my device more times than I care to count, and have always, always found a way to get it back to working order. How have I done that you ask? Mainly by searching the threads for the same issue I am experiencing at that moment. The reason I don't post a lot is because I don't have to. The answers are 99.9% of the time right under my nose. The reason I would like to post? I feel I can give my input of bugs/issues etc that I find based off the ROM/Theme/Mod I installed.
I never do any customization's to a ROM until I let it run for a few days, and even then try to make sure I've run all apps, configured all settings, and tracked any bugs. In doing so, once I do flash say, a theme or a mod, I know what worked, and what didn't and can easier track down where my underlying issue is.
I'm in no WAY a developer, but for someone who has used basically every ROM out there on multiple devices feel I know when there is a bug, and no when it's my own stupidity.
I know I can just go out there and fire off ten posts and be able to post in there but to me, that's cheating. Who wants to read my drivel anyway?
Anyway, thanks for reading if you did... and if you didn't...

Three more to go.

Sorry - Subject should have read "Without enough posts"... guess this is why I'm locked down -

I realize this every time I want to post in the dev section...just keep posting son.
Also add not being able to post more than one post in five mins.

The 10 post requirement is to protect our developers from spammers, spambots and users just joining without knowing the rules. 10 posts is too small in most users opinion as it is not enough to get the feel as to what should be posted in a development thread or section.
Hope this helps
Thanks

That also clears up after 30 or 50 posts...I forget which...again...more spam protection.

I'm working on my 10 posts right now I understand the reason for wanting to protect the developers. I myself am a developer, not of Android ROMs, and appreciate any filtering that can be done to shield the developers from uneducated questions and complaints. I'm just trying to get to 10 quickly so I can post in the development thread for the offical cm10.1 nightly. invisiblek posted an unoffical rom to test a fix for the random reboots and I believe it has fixed the issue for me. Just got to get to 10 so I can let him know :fingers-crossed:

I've been using this forum for ever, and I feel the 10 post count rule is ignorant. All it does is promote new people to post stupid crap everywhere to get their 10 posts so they can post something ignorant elsewhere. It doesn't help anything.
The people who post the most, are often the ones who know the least, and to reward that behavior is absolute stupidity.
You are not going to stop spam, or people from posting stupid stuff. The more you try, the harder they work to get around it.
You really want to help stop the stupidity start moving the community in the opposite direction. For the last 2 years the entire android community has been turning into everything they hate in the iOS community. Real development has basically died, and every person with a computer is now an android developer. I can go to any phone and find a ton of the same crap over and over and over. When their is a bug or a problem people just ignore it because no one knows how to fix it, and they typically never get fixed.
Everyone has become elitist and self righteous and it really shows. Damn shame really.

The only way you'll go back is by only allowing actual developers to post. However xda isn't exactly running a charity here. The more users, the better for them
